Kukla's Korner Hockey

OK, New Rule: a player who commits a major foul in the good ol’ hockey game, oh, say like a two-handed cross-check to the face or a flying leap to drive a shoulder into a players head, will still have his mandatory hearing with Campbell. He will still be a candidate for supplemental discipline and he will be tossed from the game by the on-ice officials, BUT (and this is a really big BUT), he can’t leave the game until he also serves a five-minute major (in this case for intent to injure) and for that five minutes he cannot leave the ice.
